It had an email for uverse at the bottom which I am pretty sure is residential? Idk

That doesn’t seem that difficult?

I don’t really stay on top of my gmail that often, but my spam folder has basically exactly the same stuff in it that my inbox has. Just a bunch of random emails from services that I signed up for an account on or bought something from and none of which I particularly care about. There’s not really much that I can tell differentiating what gets marked as spam or not either.

I think 1 cent per view is on the high end for YouTube

I think refurbished enterprise drives usually have a lot of extra protection hardware that helps them last a very long time. Seagate advertises a mean time to failure on their exos drives of ~200 years with a moderate level of usage. I feel like it would almost always be a better choice to get more refurbished enterprise drives than fewer new consumer drives.

I personally found an 8tb exos on serverpartdeals for ~$100 which seems to be in very good condition after checking the SMART monitoring. I’m just using it as a backup so there isn’t any data on it that isn’t also somewhere else, so I didn’t bother with redundancy.

I’m not an expert, but this is just from the research I did before buying that backup drive.

I know that camera hardware does not return hdr values. So something in the actual conversion from/in the sensor (idk how cmos sensors work) would have to be affected by the white balance for changing it in the camera software to do lose a significant amount more information than changing it after the picture was taken. Unless the conversion from a raw image also is a factor, but raw images aren’t hdr either so I don’t really see how that could cause much significant difference.

If the white balance only dims colors and doesn’t brighten them then it couldn’t possibly clip anything and would have the same effect as lowering the exposure originally (with the new white balance) to avoid a clipped highlight.

I’m not a photography guy (just a computer graphics guy) so idk what the software usually does (I suspect it would avoid clipping? You could also brighten something with a gamma curve for example to prevent clipping…) but I can’t find anything online about sensors having hardware support for white balance adjustment.

After some more testing I think the OnePlus one isn’t usually that bad, it just works terribly in low light

I’m surprised that it loses dynamic range. White balance is actually built into the camera hardware?

Yeah, white balance is very fixable in post tho so that doesn’t seem like a significant problem.

This was the auto white balance, and these images are only very lightly cropped. The paper is fairly light but the lights are warm, so it’s slightly arbitrary which is better.

JXL is badly supported but it does offer lossless encoding in a more flexible and much more efficient way than png does

Basically jxl could theoretically replace png, jpg, and also exr.

Software support is basically identical across any Linux distro. It’s not really a concern when choosing a distro to use. Of course some are easier to install stuff on than others.

I agree, really anything with KDE Plasma will feel basically the same because the Steam Deck’s desktop is basically stock kde.

Not going to surprise anyone but Windows Mixed Reality VR headsets aren’t great on Linux, at least with controllers

Although that is improving!

They’re already going to only ship it through Steam. As long as you’re using Steam, they don’t care.

You could use Nsight, it has a Linux version and is very in depth (shows every draw call, also has one that shows very detailed CPU tasks)

Of course harder to use than presentmon

There are very few habitable places in the world not susceptible to airstrikes. The bombs dropped on nuclear facilities last night are claimed to be able to penetrate 60 meters of earth before exploding.

I like that Roku gives the microphone button. I keep forgetting to use it but it’s a lot more convenient than typing.

TV remotes are worse often, they add a bit of delay, worse buttons, and a 50% chance of any given input not being registered

At least in a gamepad the directional buttons are consistent.
